Detailed Solution

The value of Kw increases with rise in temperature

At high temperature dissociation of water is faster, so there will be more concentration of [H3O+] ions & therefore pH decreases. On adding base pH is greater than 7 & on adding acid pH is less than 7.

$Kw=[H3O+][OH-]

Since[H3O+]=[OH-]

[H3O+]2=Kw

[H3O+]=Kw

pH = -log[H3O+]

log(Kw)12

Which is simplified to (12)(log(Kw), since pKw=-logKw

Therefore, for pure water pH = (12)pKw

Hence, the correct option is option 3) a and d are correct.
